it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament (锦标赛) last summer in Wisconsin, US.
The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way
to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something
wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teenager.
Fifteen-one more than allowed. Zach"s eyes filled with tears.
If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation
after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw
fouls (假摔以使对方犯规).
Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn"t a game
where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so
officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties (处罚) on themselves.
"It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right
thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.
Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game"s early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for
calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied:"You might as well praise a man for not robbing
a bank."
So even the error had no effect on Zach"s final score-he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed
up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he
said.
Then came another tournament. Before teeing off (开球), Zach counted his clubs-four times.
B. Zach returned the medal that he had won.
C. Zach"s grandparents encouraged him to play fair.
D. Zach regretted meeting with the professional player.
B. players are superior to coaches
C. referees have to watch each shot
D. players needn"t care about medals
B. Bobby looked down upon bank robbers.
C. Little did Bobby care about the penalty.
D. Observing rules demands no praise.
B. He lacked self-confidence.
C. He felt a little too nervous.
D. He was no good with numbers.

I"ve received fancier, more expensive cards over the years, this is the only one I"ve 1 . One summer, it spoke
volumes to me.
I received it 2 the first June I faced as a widow to raise two teenage daughters alone. In all the emotional
confusion of this sudden single 3 , I even had difficulty in the simplest housework: leaky taps, oil changes,
even barbecues. Those had always been my husband"s 4 I was embarrassed every time I 5 my thumb with
a hammer. My uncertain attempts only 6 the fear inside me: How could I be both a father and mother to my
girls? Clearly, I 7 the tools and skills.
That morning, my girls pushed me into the living room to see something. (I prayed it wasn"t 8 repair job.)
The "something" turned out to be an 9 and several wrapped things on the carpet. My 10 must have been
plain as I stared from the colorful packages to my daughters" 11 faces.
"Go ahead! Open them!" they urged. As I 12 the packages, I discovered a small barbecue grill and all the
necessary 13 including a green kitchen glove.
"But why?" I asked.
"Happy Father"s Day!" they shouted together.
"Moms don"t get presents on Father"s Day," I said.
"You forgot to open the 14 ," Jane reminded I pulled it from the envelope. There sat Snoopy, merrily wishing
me a Happy Father"s Day."Because," the girls said, "you"ve been a father and mother to us, why shouldn"t you
be 15 on Father"s Day?"
As I fought back tears, I realized they were 16 . I wanted to be a "professional" dad, who had the latest tools.
The girls 17 wanted a parent they could count on to be there, day after day, 18 repeatedly the tasks of basic
care and love.
The girls are grown now, 19 they still send me Father"s Day cards, but none of those cards means as much
to me as that first one. Its simple message told me being a great parent didn"t require any special 20 at all-just a
willing worker.

| My father was a keen baseball fan Whenever he could, Dad took me out to the park and pitched balls for me to hit. One day at the park, a woman pushing a young boy in a wheelchair stopped to watch us play. My dad was over to them in a flash to ask if the child could join our game. The woman explained that her son had polio (小 儿麻痹症) and wouldn"t be able to get out of the chair. That didn"t stop my dad. He placed the bat in the youngster"s hand, pushed him out to home plate and assisted him in holding the bat. Then he yelled out to me, "Anne, pitch one in to us." I saw the delight in the boy"s eyes, so I aimed at the bat and let the ball fly. The ball made contact with the bat with an assist from my dad and the child screamed with joy. As I turned, I heard my dad singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game. An hour later we all left the field, very tired but very happy. Dad told the mother to bring the boy back next Saturday and we would play another game. Dad and I were at the field the next Saturday but the mother and son never came Twenty years passed, with my dad gone, I had very mixed emotions about leaving the neighborhood. Before moving I decided to take one last walk around the park where Dad and I had spent so many happy moments. Two Little League teams were on the field just about to start a game I felt the sting of tears in my eyes as I watched the children play the game. "Jeff, protect your base," one coach yelled I cheered the runner on when the ball was hit far into the outfield. The coach turned and smiled, "I never thought I"d ever be a coach playing on this field You see, I had polio as a child and was restricted to a wheelchair. Thanks to a man"s assistance, I was able to hit the ball and hear him singing the song Take Me Out to the Ball Game. I believe that experience gave me the desire to walk again I hope that some day I"ll look up in the stands and see that man and his daughter again I sure would like to thank him." | |||||||||||||||||
